300 posts!

By Mark Rodriguez

Wow, 300 posts and a lot has changed during that time. We finally got to see the big End Game, the culmination of everything in the MCU that started with the first Iron Man film back in the day. With Spider-Man Far From Home showing a big of the world's reaction to the events of both Infinity War and End Game, it closes the chapter on the MCU as we look ahead to see where the story will continue from there. Especially since Disney now owns Fox and the X-Men and Fantastic Four movie rights, and the original Fox X-Men concluded their series.


On other things, Cody Rhodes stepped up and unleashed All Elite Wrestling to the masses. With their events streamed on Bleacher Report Live domestically and the Fite TV app internationally, they are about to have a TNT TV deal in October. From what I've seen at Double or Nothing, Fyter Fest and Fight for the Fallen, I've been happy to give the ol' WWE a rest.

ProWrestlingTees helps promote AEW but also owns ProWrestlingCrate and has ended up buying out That Wrestling Club and Wrestlecrate, which was actually the premiere wrestling themed subscription box. The 1Up Box is gone and the TMNT Box has now gone quarterly. I was happy to get to unbox their very first quarterly box alongside my bro. Nerd Block was bought out by Insight Editions but all they've been doing for the last year is have sales on their website. Still nothing on if the box is ever coming back.

Videogame wise we await to see if Capcom really will deliver new dlc characters for Street Fighter 5 this August or if this is the end. SNK released Samurai Shodown and we await a King of Fighters 15 next year or so. I also got into Apex Legends, sorta, thanks to a friend of mine. I'm not good at these battle royale first person shooters, maybe someday I'll actually get a kill. 

Our humble little YouTube show, Video Game Masters reached it's 10 year anniversary and I was able to get in some of the old gang like Rakiarmas and Pikachika. The Fish Hunter, an old friend from our days in Mexico is coming back and will be joining us for more videos, starting with our joint review of Spider-Man Far From Home. Video Game Masters is also on the fast track to reach 100 episodes. Plus the VGM Geek Portal is growing slowly but surely on LBRY as that new platform also continues to grow.


I got to hang with my bro a few times as we got to enjoy both Shine Con and Lvl Up Expo together, as well as watch End Game together. I also checked out Sci Fi Valley Con which I haven't been to in years and plan to go to Steelcity Con as well. The Sci Fi Valley Con will always be awesome since I got to meet Rob Paulsen, the voice of Raphael from the original TMNT of my childhood. That is pretty amazing and something I'll always remember. 

Thanks for sticking by the blog and reading along. Let's see what happens in 400 posts!

Dragonball- It's time to go beyond Z or end it

 By Mark Rodriguez So while the Dragonball Super anime has ended for a few years now, and the Dragonball Super Broly movie is over a year old as well, the Dragonball Super manga has actually continued past the Tournament of Power and  Super Broly movie. As this new arc, nicknamed the Moro Arc after its main villain is coming to a close, the question is where do they do from here? Also before you get into this article, I really hope you know your DBZ because there are just waaaaaay too many characters to take the time out to explain who everyone is one by one. Dragonball and Dragonball Z is one of the longest running anime and manga series since the 80's and while it seemed it was put to pasture after Dragonball GT ended in 1997, the only thing left was for the American dubs to catch up. Despite this the love and nostalgia for the series lived on with videogames and the occasional special here and there that would bring back the characters (like the Yo, Son Goku and his Friends Retu

Arachna# 1 Review *Spoilers*

 By Mark Rodriguez Here's another awesome comic from independent artists that opened up an Indiegogo to get it started. I usually don't chip in unless it looks real good, like you just know they're gonna hit their goal. Arachna, a sexy superheroine with a split personality and an amazing art syle, sure looked like a good pick for me.  With lots of clever marketing in advance, even getting a person to dress as Arachna herself to bring the character to life, they hit their goal the same day they actually opened the Indiegogo for donations. I chipped in for the comic and the shirt, and here is my review on the latest superheroine that's bringing sexy back to comics, Arachna! Also note, while I'll try to keep my language as tame as I can, this book deals with way more adult stuff than I usually discuss on this blog. The Adventure Begins The issue opens with Jennie lying in bed naked in her apartment, a noticeable pile of sketches lying on the floor. She awakens to a voi

Five Nights at Freddy's- How FNAF 2 Complicated the Lore

By Mark Rodriguez Five Nights at Freddy's.... a game series that started out by being a security guard trying to survive 5 nights at a pizzeria full of haunted animatronics that spawned lots of sequels. Now the latest one is looking like it's going to be about some of the animatronics actually trying to keep you safe from a serial killer that might have been brainwashed by a possessed VR game. What the hell? FNAF.... how it started and where it's going......  Here's a quick trip down memory lane over just how simple the story of FNAF seemed to be in the first game, and how the second game started the long path of the huge mess that we have now. Now when the first game came out back in 2014, creator Scott Cawthon had no way of knowing it would be a smash hit with lots of sequels. In fact, it was a bit of a last desperate attempt to make it in the gaming business. It's hard to believe nowadays, but had FNAF failed, Scott would have given up working on video games and
